Tamiya Abrams 1/16 FO kit geometry
#1
I have question - I noticed that the right side of my Tamiya Abrams is about 4-5mm lower than the left side - is it normal or any mistake?
#2
It’s probably normal - tank turrets are often not geometrically symmetrical aside from the obvious difference in cupolas, optics, etc. because the interior is not symmetrically laid out either.
#3
On torsion bar larger RC tanks like the Abrams it is not uncommon to have one side sit slightly lower than the other. 4-5mm is a lot of difference especially for a Tamiya Abrams. Both of mine sit pretty much level.

If the chassis is not sitting level then there is likely a mistake in assembling the torsion bars and suspension arms. However, all the torsion bars are the same part number so you may wish to check if parts are correctly fitted.
